In Elfpack, everyone can do something. You can create wiki-pages that explain how to draw dragons or explain the physics behind why they can fly. Everyone can report members that don't follow the Elfpack Rules.

But some people want to have an official title. The problem is of course that we can't have 4711 Wardens here, and even a large amount of Guards and crew people would mean that it would be too big to actually do something.

But here is your chance to get the power, badges and all other fancy stuff that really shouldn't be the reason for why you apply to the crew!

What you need to do

1) You need a good general knowledge of Elfpack. If you can't handle everything about forums, polls, wiki-pages and don't know the Elfpack rules very well, then don't apply yet.
This means you need to know the workings, and prove that you can.
- If you don't know at least most of the pseudo HTML, don't apply.
- If you don't know how to use the forums, don't apply.
- If you're not planning on using the forums, don't apply.
- If you're not sure of the rules, don't apply.

2) You need to be able to read and write English well.
- Plz dun typ lyke dis
- We don't require perfect English, but you have to at least be able to make legible English that others can easily understand.

3) Your goals should agree with Elfpack's. If you want to go berserk on everyone who looks ugly, then don't apply!
- Crew members have to be at least somewhat nice and professional.
- Crew members need to be able to keep a cool control over their emotions and thoughts.
- Crew members should be able to make unbiased decisions without putting their friends' first in every situation.

4) You should have proven yourself. As written above, you don't need any permission to do most stuff here on Elfpack. Even if you only have created the Best Fake Cybering Competition, are running the forum "Lesbian hairdressers" that no one uses and have written a pretty bad report, it's better than someone who just says they can do all this, but never has.
- Write in forums! Use them, if only to comment on Mainstuff news and say hello.
- Enter contests, official or non-official.
- Be nice and helpful to other members; answer questions they may ask on wiki-pages.
- Create wiki-pages, with HTML and good design.

5) You should explain what you will do as a member of the crew and for how long. Note: We don't want newbies that get all excited by Elfpack for a month and then will get tired of it. Therefore, people who have been for a long time, are generally better.
- We want to know what you can bring to the Elfpack Crew that we don't have currently.
- We want to know what you're good at, your talents, and what you think you'd be best at.
- We want to know what official jobs you think we should give you.
- Do NOT try to apply to be one of the following: Guards, Custodians, Warden, Deputy Warden or Ambassadore Exilios!

6) You should be able to get along with the crazy people in the crew, and have a great patience with people.
- [Stephen] doesn't really like suck ups.
- No one likes assholes, narcissists or intolerable people.
- Patience is a virtue that you must possess.

7) You should think this is fun!

8) If you can come up with an eighth point, it shows that you have ideas. We have ideas and a lot of them, the problem is finding hard-working people who will take an idea and make it fun for Elfpack members.
- Ideas are good!
- However, people who can take an idea and put it on a page are even better.
- Go check out the Contractors Office.

Deadline

No, there is no deadline. This goes on forever and good applications get picked at any time we need help. If you don't get picked, that can be either because we're not so sure about you, or we don't need more help at the moment.

But: We will not answer questions about what's wrong with you or your application! If we have something to say, then you'll hear from us.

Accepted Applications

These people were recently accepted for the positions they applied for. You can use these for inspiration for your own application, or even try to do better.

2007-07-06[Bookwyrm]: Each one of the pages had a group of images, a tic-tac-toe board, and I think you clicked the images to get to the next "stage" I think. I'm not quite sure how it worked. But now the images all show an expired image thing...

2007-07-06[Midori]: Well, as soon as I go in for Video game design this year, maybe this won't pose as such a huge frustration, afterall, It was I who wanted a game wiki so bad *bonks herself over the head* O-ouchies..

2007-07-06[Bookwyrm]: -giggles- I don't blame you, I think it's a rather nifty idea. ^_^ I'd like to see it happen! I don't have the knowledge to even try, though. :P I just do basic CSS and HTML. I did consider video game design, but instead went for business management. :P I'd have had to move out of the state (or country) to do game design, and I love being a Texan gal. -offers ice pack and chocolate for the "headache"- ^_~ Nice job.

2007-11-08[Hedda]: I've gone through the pages today and commented on them as well as I could.

A general comment is that you don't have to be in the council to boss around on your own wiki-pages or creating your own forum or projects. And if you want attention on Mainstuff, then MC is a great place.

I'm very reluctant to make someone a crew because they say they will do something, as it's already possible to do that, but with a little more effort, if you're not a crew.

I'm also very slow on checking this page, because I want people who stay at Elfpack, not people who'll leave next week.

2007-11-08[shinobi14]: Wow... I'm one of the crew. ^____^ *ish excited*

2007-12-09[shinobi14]: Connections aren't really necessary at all. The reason why it helps is because the Crew members you know witness you actually doing something. And thats what the whole thing is all about... apart from having fun, of course. ;)

2007-12-10[La Fleur de La Croix]: I did too. Start out small, then work your way up. ^-^ Patience is key. If you can handle being at the bottom of the food chain and slowly working upward, you'll be wonderful and get the jobs you want eventually.

2007-12-10[idunnosomething]: Any particular reason my application was moved to the "retired" section...?

2007-12-10[itweetinHEELS]: I still think you have to have connections, because some people, to me, it seems have only been accepted because they know some of the guards. And their applications dont even seem like they even did enough for EP or just want to become one just to have the title.

2007-12-10[La Fleur de La Croix]: Connections help because those friends who are guards/council members actually see you in action--they see the you that an application doesn't always portray. However, the more personality you put into the application via images, graphics, diction in the writing, and how you present yourself plays a MAJOR role.

2007-12-11[-------]: I don't have photoshop on my computer (it's way too slow) so I can make cool graphics or anything. =[

2007-12-11[La Fleur de La Croix]: I don't either. Even if I did, I wouldn't have the patience to learn all the fancy tricks. :) I used an online graphics generator.

2007-12-11[-------]: My computer is too slow for that, also lol. I had to make the header of my application in paint >.>

2007-12-11[Bookwyrm]: I used GIMP for mine. 'Tis free and easy to use, once you get used to it (which doesn't honestly take long...I mean c'mon...I learned to use it...XD), and doesn't take three hours to load like photoshop.

2008-06-14[ZombieKiller]: I need help with a WiKi I still don't know how to do it i been a member of EP for a while now. I am going to to Apply for the crew now that i know what you guy's are looking for on here & i still need help on a WiKi page i still don't know how to do it can anyone help me with that...

2008-06-14[shinobi14]: [ZombieKiller], although your enthusiasm to help is appreciated, and your help would be nice, it is necessary to have a certain degree of knowledge about how Elfpack runs to become part of the Crew. This includes knowing how to create and manage a wikipage. =/

2008-11-10[Hedda]: Well, I'll surely make you a warden and anyone else into crew, as soon as you need the privs.

That is: If someone keeps bugging me or the crew about that they are running this and that, and want Mainstuff-attention, or something else to get something going, then I'll make it easier for everyone so that you can do it on your own.

2009-06-11[kittykittykitty]: Oh hello new applicant :D
Moved a few old pages to 'retired applications' if the person has been offline for longer than 100 days.

2009-09-15[CASPER]: I THINK I AM A VERY GOOD PERSON TO BE ON THE CREW DO TO THE FACT THAT I AM ALWAYS ON HERE MEETING NEW PEOPLE AND HAVE GREAT IDEAS FOR EVENTS AND CONTEST.I AM ALWAYS LETTING PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT FAKE AND TRYING TO GET PEOPLE ON HERE.

2009-09-15[0-Aki]: [CASPER] I really don't think you read the big bold letters just a few comments up O_o;

2009-09-16[shinobi14]: [CASPER], if you think that you'd be a good candidate, create a wiki, and tell us about you and why you'd make an good addition. =]

2010-02-16[Ihsahn]: What I am looking for, New council to help with contests and bring this place back to life! I am going to be rather honest, I am not looking for any Guards at the moment, I won't just hand that you to anyone either, you will have to earn it, any questions/concerns then feel free to ask. :)

2011-08-12[Morgoth]: Say, is it alright if I do some sorting for this wiki?

2011-08-12[Stephen]: As long as you keep it serious, sure.
The page needs some rewriting done, and I didn't bother to check if the pending applications are even active..

If you want to actually move applications into different categories, pm me first please. =)

2011-08-13[Stephen]: There should also be a notice to state why you're applying, and what new things you can bring to the site, what exactly you want to do, and don't bother applying to be a Guard/Warden/Ambassador/Deputy Warden/Custodian. xD
